for the incredible majority of border hoppers, the answer is no.
Honestly I am even fine with some of the border hoppers. "I have family here, look my brother - who sits outside - has been living here for 5 years and is willing to stand bail for me and help me."
We have such a system (standing bail / "Bürgschaft") in Germany. Tons of idiots (random Germans) did it for many asylum seekers - thinking they were only responsible for the people until they got asylum. They organized flights to Germany, paid rent & food.
Well of course they didn't read the fine print (which means: read anything at all). You are required to take care of the person after asylum is granted. Pay for their rent, pay for their monthly "unemployment money" (Hartz4).
Woops.
The article I'm reading to refresh my knowledge mentions a Syrian who has been in Germany for 20 years.
He stood bail for his parents, 2 siblings & their families. He works in a drugstore (difficult to translate, not a pharmacy, but cleaning/beauty products and stuff like that).
And his opinion about this all?
'The Syrian is angry: "If my family had come via the Balkan route with smugglers, I would be fine. But because I'm an idiot and chose the official route, I have to pay the price.'
Okay - after reading about stuff like this again - I changed my mind. No exception for country hoppers due to family.
This sentiment is absolutely common among legal immigrants. They hate illegals more than anyone else, because they know most of them are degenerate criminal trash that don't want to actually immigrate, and only want to steal money, and are the exact people the legals were trying to get away from. Frankly, it's one of the reasons that enforcing immigration laws hasn't hurt the Republicans that much against Hispanic voters. Many of those voters are legal immigrants and want those immigration laws enforced. Democrats just assumed that no "brown" would ever want border control. Meanwhile Mexicans are actively demanding their own government stop hosting an open border to shuffle people to the US.

Not only do they want them enforced. They want them enforced more hardcore than most Whites do. Your typical Right-Wing White person would probably just say "Have a wall, deport those in, and we are good."
There are a not insignificant amount of Hispanics who say "Have a wall, with automated kill turrets, minefields, and a moat that has sharks with frickin' laser beams! And if they are already in the country, yeet them back over the border with a catapult."

This is one of the many reasons that BPD is majority hispanic.
